Inter-VLAN Routing¶

Use Case ¶

Inter-VLAN routing is a process of forwarding network traffic from one VLAN to another VLAN using a router or layer 3 device.

Example Scenario ¶

This example configures TNSR with VLANs:

Item	Value
TNSR Internet Interface	GigabitEthernet0/14/1
TNSR Internet Address	203.0.113.2/24
TNSR Local Interface	GigabitEthernet0/14/2
TNSR VLAN 10 Interface	GigabitEthernet0/14/2.10
TNSR VLAN 10 Address	172.16.10.1/24
TNSR VLAN 20 Interface	GigabitEthernet0/14/2.20
TNSR VLAN 20 Address	172.16.20.1/24

TNSR Configuration ¶

A few pieces of information are necessary to create a VLAN subinterface (“subif”):

The parent interface which will carry the tagged traffic, e.g. GigabitEthernet3/0/0
The subinterface ID number, which is a positive integer that uniquely identifies this subif on the parent interface. It is commonly set to the same value as the VLAN tag
The VLAN tag used by the subif to tag outgoing traffic, and to use for identifying incoming traffic bound for this subif. This is an integer in the range 1-4095, inclusive. This VLAN must also be tagged on the corresponding switch configuration for the port used by the parent interface.

Create Subinterfaces ¶

First, create subinterfaces for VLAN 10 and VLAN 20:

tnsr(config)# interface subif GigabitEthernet0/14/2 10
tnsr(config-subif)# dot1q 10 exact-match
tnsr(config-subif)# exit

tnsr(config)# interface subif GigabitEthernet0/14/2 20
tnsr(config-subif)# dot1q 20 exact-match
tnsr(config-subif)# exit

The subif interface appears with the parent interface name and the subif id, joined by a ..

Configure Interfaces ¶

At this point,subinterface behaves identically to a regular interface in that it may have an IP address, routing, and so on:

tnsr(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/14/2.10
tnsr(config-interface)# ip address 172.16.10.1/24
tnsr(config-interface)# description VLAN10
tnsr(config-interface)# enable
tnsr(config-interface)# exit

tnsr(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/14/2.20
tnsr(config-interface)# ip address 172.16.20.1/24
tnsr(config-interface)# description VLAN20
tnsr(config-interface)# enable
tnsr(config-interface)# exit

Configure DHCP ¶

Next, configure the DHCP server and DHCP pool on TNSR for each VLAN.

For VLAN 10:

tnsr(config)# dhcp4 server
tnsr(config-kea-dhcp4)# description LAN DHCP Server
tnsr(config-kea-dhcp4)# interface listen GigabitEthernet0/14/2.10
tnsr(config-kea-dhcp4)# option domain-name
tnsr(config-kea-dhcp4-opt)# data example.com
tnsr(config-kea-dhcp4-opt)# exit
tnsr(config-kea-dhcp4)# subnet 172.16.10.0/24
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4)# pool 172.16.10.100-172.16.10.245
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4-pool)# exit
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4)# interface GigabitEthernet0/14/2.10
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4)# option domain-name-servers
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4-opt)# data 172.16.10.1
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4-opt)# exit
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4)# option routers
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4-opt)# data 172.16.10.1
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4-opt)# exit
tnsr(config-kea-dhcp4)# exit

And for VLAN 20:

tnsr(config)# dhcp4 server
tnsr(config-kea-dhcp4)# interface listen GigabitEthernet0/14/2.20
tnsr(config-kea-dhcp4)# subnet 172.16.20.0/24
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4)# pool 172.16.20.100-172.16.20.245
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4-pool)# exit
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4)# interface GigabitEthernet0/14/2.20
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4)# option domain-name-servers
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4-opt)# data 172.16.20.1
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4-opt)# exit
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4)# option routers
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4-opt)# data 172.16.20.1
tnsr(config-kea-subnet4-opt)# exit
tnsr(config-kea-dhcp4)# exit
tnsr(config)# dhcp4 enable

Configure Outbound NAT ¶

Now configure Outbound NAT:

tnsr(config)# nat pool addresses 203.0.113.2
tnsr(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/14/1
tnsr(config-interface)# ip nat outside
tnsr(config-interface)# exit
tnsr(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/14/2.10
tnsr(config-interface)# ip nat inside
tnsr(config-interface)# exit
tnsr(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/14/2.20
tnsr(config-interface)# ip nat inside
tnsr(config-interface)# exit
tnsr(config)# nat global-options nat44 forwarding true
tnsr(config)#

Configure DNS Resolver ¶

Finally, configure a DNS Resolver in forwarding mode:

tnsr# configure
tnsr(config)# unbound server
tnsr(config-unbound)# interface 127.0.0.1
tnsr(config-unbound)# interface 172.16.10.1
tnsr(config-unbound)# interface 172.16.20.1
tnsr(config-unbound)# access-control 172.16.10.0/24 allow
tnsr(config-unbound)# access-control 172.16.20.0/24 allow
tnsr(config-unbound)# forward-zone .
tnsr(config-unbound-fwd-zone)# nameserver address 8.8.8.8
tnsr(config-unbound-fwd-zone)# nameserver address 8.8.4.4
tnsr(config-unbound-fwd-zone)# exit
tnsr(config-unbound)# exit
tnsr(config)# unbound enable

Now there are two VLANs on the physical “LAN” port and interface GigabitEthernet0/14/2 now works as trunk port between TNSR and downstream L2/L3 switch.

This switch must be configured to match the expected VLAN tags and it must also have access ports configured for clients on each VLAN.
